Squids

Sunday afternoon, we were all in the car driving back home after lunch. We passed the UHaul place and one of the trucks had a picture of a squid on the side of it. It reminded me of an article I had read and I so I started telling Anita about it. When I finished, Conner asked me, "Dad, what's a squid?"

I explained to him that a squid was like an octopus, but a little bit different in the way their bodies were shaped.

Then, he blurted out, "Octopuses have 8 testicles".

Anita and I both nearly choked and tried our hardest not to explode into laughter. She was turned around looking back at him, and quickly turned around in her seat so that he couldn't see her face. Luckily, I was driving and only had to concentrate on not wrecking as I contained my building laughter.
